Answer:

Cells with 46 chromosomes are called <u>diploids</u> cells because they have two sets each.

Explanation:

In the human being, somatic cells contain 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), representing the complete chromosomal charge, so they are called diploid cells.

Ploidy is based on the total number of chromosomes contained in a cell:

  • <em>If the cell has the full charge of chromosomes —like </em><em>somatic cells</em><em>— is called diploid, and its formula is 2n. </em>
  • <em>Cells with half the chromosome charge are called haploid, their formula is n, and corresponds to</em><em> sex cells or gametes</em><em>. </em>

Two haploid cells can unite during fertilization, to give rise to a diploid cell, the gamete, which represents the basis of sexual reproduction. In humans, <u>Cells with 46 chromosomes are called </u><u>diploids</u><u> cells because they have two sets of </u><u>chromosomes</u><u> each.</u>

Answer:

It seems that a reciprocal translocation is going on.

Explanation:

A translocation occurs when a chromosomal fragment changes its location in the same chromosome from the original to a new one. Or when it leaves the chromosome to re-locate in a new different chromosome.

According to this, there are different types of translocations:

  • Intrachromosomal translocations:
  1. Intra-radial: the change in position occurs in the same arm of the chromosome. For instance, 123.456789 → 123.478569
  2. Extra-radial: The change in position occurs from one arm to the other of the same chromosome. For instance, 123.456789 → 15623.4789
  • Extrachromosomal translocations:
  1. Transposition: not reciprocal interchange. The fragment leaves a chromosome to re-locate in another chromosome. The other chromosome does not send any fragment to the first one.
  2. Reciprocal translocation: There is a reciprocal interchange. A fragment of chromosome A goes to B, and a fragment of chromosome B goes to A.

Reciprocal translocations might be:

  1. Fraternal: the interchange occurs among homologous chromosomes
  2. External: the interchange occurs among non-homologous chromosomes

Reciprocal translocations are easily recognized during meiosis because an association between four chromosomes can be observed.  This association is a quadrivalent structure.

During metaphase 1, the centromeres involved in the quadrivalent originate centromeric co-orientation or disjunction.
